Vera (Apt)
Academy Award nominee and BAFTA Brenda Blethyn stars as Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope in this detective series. Vera is an experienced and brilliant murder investigator in the North East England county of Northumberland. Kind-hearted but an inherent loner, Vera freely admits she can become obsessed with her job; driven by her own demons, the detective faces the world with caustic wit, guile and courage.
